Explicit solutions from residual symmetry of the Boussinesq equation

The Bcklund transformation related symmetry is nonlocal, which is hard to be applied in constructing solutions for nonlinear equations. In this paper, the residual symmetry of the Boussinesq equation is localized to Lie point symmetry by introducing multiple new variables. By applying the general Lie point method, two main results are obtained: a new type of Backlund transformation is derived, from which new solutions can be generated from old ones; the similarity reduction solutions as well as corresponding reduction equations are found. The localization procedure provides an effective way to investigate interaction solutions between nonlinear waves and solitons.     

New solutions from nonlocal symmetry of the generalized fifth order KdV equation

The nonlocal symmetry of the generalized fifth order KdV equation(FOKdV) is first obtained by using the related Lax pair and then localizing it in a new enlarged system by introducing some new variables. On this basis, new Ba¨cklund transformation is obtained through Lie's first theorem. Furthermore, the general form of Lie point symmetry for the enlarged FOKdV system is found and new interaction solutions for the generalized FOKdV equation are explored by using a symmetry reduction method.     

Nonlocal Symmetry,CTE Solvability and Interaction Solutions of Whitham–Broer–Kaup Equations

Whitham–Broer–Kaup(WBK) equations in the shallow water small-amplitude regime is hereby under investigation. Nonlocal symmetry and Bcklund transformation are presented via the truncated Painlevé expansion.This residual symmetry is localised to Lie point symmetry by the properly enlarged system. The finite symmetry transformation of the prolonged system is computed. Based on the CTE method, WBK equations are linearized and new analytic interaction solutions between solitary waves and cnoidal waves are given with the aid of solutions for the linear equation.     

Backlund transformation and variable separation solutions for the generalized Nozhnik—Novikov—Veselov equation

Using the extended homogeneous balance method, the B?cklund transformation for a (2+1)-dimensional integrable model, the generalized Nizhnik－Novikov－Veselov (GNNV) equation, is first obtained. Also, making use of the B?cklund transformation, the GNNV equation is changed into three equations: linear, bilinear and trilinear form equations. Starting from these three equations, a rather general variable separation solution of the model is constructed. The abundant localized coherent structures of the model can be induced by the entrance of two variable-separated arbitrary functions.     

Painlevé property,local and nonlocal symmetries,and symmetry reductions for a (2+1)-dimensional integrable KdV equation

The Painlevé property for a(2+1)-dimensional Korteweg–de Vries(KdV) extension, the combined KP3(Kadomtsev–Petviashvili) and KP4(cKP3-4), is proved by using Kruskal’s simplification. The truncated Painlevé expansion is used to find the Schwartz form, the B?cklund/Levi transformations, and the residual nonlocal symmetry. The residual symmetry is localized to find its finite B?cklund transformation. The local point symmetries of the model constitute a centerless Kac–Moody–Virasoro algebra. The local point symmetries are used to find the related group-invariant reductions including a new Lax integrable model with a fourth-order spectral problem. The finite transformation theorem or the Lie point symmetry group is obtained by using a direct method.     

Residual symmetry reductions and interaction solutions of the (2+1)-dimensional Burgers equation

In nonlinear physics,it is very difficult to study interactions among different types of nonlinear waves.In this paper,the nonlocal symmetry related to the truncated Painleve′expansion of the(2+1)-dimensional Burgers equation is localized after introducing multiple new variables to extend the original equation into a new system.Then the corresponding group invariant solutions are found,from which interaction solutions among different types of nonlinear waves can be found.Furthermore,the Burgers equation is also studied by using the generalized tanh expansion method and a new Ba¨cklund transformation(BT)is obtained.From this BT,novel interactive solutions among different nonlinear excitations are found.     

Perturbation,symmetry analysis,Bäcklund and reciprocal transformation for the extended Boussinesq equation in fluid mechanics

In this work, we study a generalized double dispersion Boussinesq equation that plays a significant role in fluid mechanics, scientific fields, and ocean engineering. This equation will be reduced to the Korteweg–de Vries equation via using the perturbation analysis. We derive the corresponding vectors, symmetry reduction and explicit solutions for this equation. We readily obtain B?cklund transformation associated with truncated Painlevéexpansion. We also examine the related conservation laws of this equation via using the multiplier method. Moreover, we investigate the reciprocal B?cklund transformations of the derived conservation laws for the first time.

Bilinear Bcklund transformation and explicit solutions for a nonlinear evolution equation

The bilinear form of two nonlinear evolution equations are derived by using Hirota derivative. The B\"{a}cklund transformation based on the Hirota bilinear method for these two equations are presented, respectively. As an application, the explicit solutions including soliton and stationary rational solutions for these two equations are obtained.     

Residual Symmetry of the Alice-Bob Modified Korteweg-de Vries Equation

Starting from the truncated Painlev′e expansion, the residual symmetry of the Alice-Bob modified Kortewegde Vries(AB-mKdV) equation is derived. The residual symmetry is localized and the AB-mKdV equation is transformed into an enlarged system by introducing one new variable. Based on Lie's first theorem, the finite transformation is obtained from the localized residual symmetry. Further, considering the linear superposition of multiple residual symmetries gives rises to N-th B?cklund transformation in the form of the determinant. Moreover, the P_sT_d(the shifted parity and delayed time reversal) symmetric exact solutions(including invariant solution, breaking solution and breaking interaction solution) of AB-mKdV equation are presented and two classes of interaction solutions are depicted by using the particular functions with numerical simulation.     

QUANTUM GAP SOLITON IN PARAMETRIC PROCESS

The Hamiltonian of the process of cascaded second harmonic generation is found from Maxwell equations. In the double-gap model and under rotating-wave and effective-mass approximations, it is quantized and the generalized quantum nonlinear Shr?dinger equation (GQNSE) is obtained. Tri-photon and quadri-photon bound states are found based on general solutions of GQNSE solved via Bethe's Ansatz method. Quantum parametric gap soliton (QPGS) solution is constructed consequently, and the existence of the double-gap QPGS is predicted for the first time.     

A note on localized transition in the spin-boson model by variational calculation

We present mathematical analyses of the evolution of solutions of the self-consistent equation derived from variational calculations based on the displaced-oscillator-state and the displaced-squeezed-state in spin-boson model at a zero temperature and a finite temperature. It is shown that, for a given spectral function defined as J（w） = π∑k Ck^2 = π/2αw^8w^1-s, there exists a universal sc for both kinds of variational schemes, the localized transition happens only for 2 s ≤ sc, moreover, the localized transition is discontinuous for s 〈 sc while a continuous transition always occurs when s = sc. At T = 0, we have sc = 1, while for T ≠ 0, sc = 2 which indicates that the localized transition in super-Ohmic case still exists, manifesting that the result is in discrepancy with the existing result.

New criterion in predicting glass forming ability of various glass-forming systems

It has been confirmed that glass-forming ability （GFA） of supercooled liquids is related to not only liquid phase stability but also the crystallization resistance. In this paper, it is found that the liquid region interval （T1 - Tg） characterized by the normalized parameter of Tg/T1 could reflect the stability of glass-forming liquids at the equilibrium state, whilst the normalization of supercooled liquid region △Tx=（Tx - Tg）, i.e. △Tx/Tx （wherein T1 is the liquidus temperature, Tg the glass transition temperature, and Tx the onset crystallization temperature） could indicate the crystallization resistance during glass formation. Thus, a new parameter, defined as ζ = Tg/T1＋△Tx/Tx is established to predict the GFA of supercooled liquids. In comparison with other commonly used criteria, this parameter demonstrates a better statistical correlation with the GFA for various glass-forming systems including metallic glasses, oxide glasses and cryoprotectants.     

New criterion in predicting glass forming ability of various glass-forming systems

It has been confirmed that glass-forming ability (GFA) of supercooled liquids is related to not only liquid phase stability but also the crystallization resistance. In this paper, it is found that the liquid region interval ($T_{\rm l}-T_{\rm g})$ characterized by the normalized parameter of $T_{\rm g}$/$T_{\rm l}$ could reflect the stability of glass-forming liquids at the equilibrium state, whilst the normalization of supercooled liquid region $\Delta T_{\rm x}$=($T_{\rm x}-T_{\rm g})$, i.e. $\Delta T_{\rm x}$/$T_{\rm x}$ (wherein $T_{\rm l}$ is the liquidus temperature, $T_{\rm g}$ the glass transition temperature, and $T_{\rm x}$ the onset crystallization temperature) could indicate the crystallization resistance during glass formation. Thus, a new parameter, defined as $\xi =T_{\rm g}$/$T_{\rm l}+\Delta T_{\rm x}$/$T_{\rm x}$ is established to predict the GFA of supercooled liquids. In comparison with other commonly used criteria, this parameter demonstrates a better statistical correlation with the GFA for various glass-forming systems including metallic glasses, oxide glasses and cryoprotectants.     

Critical radius and dipole polarizability for a confined system

The analytical transfer matrix method (ATMM) is applied to calculating the critical radius $r_{\rm c}$ and the dipole polarizability $\alpha_{\rm d}$ in two confined systems: the hydrogen atom and the Hulth\'{e}n potential. We find that there exists a linear relation between $r_{\rm c}^{1/2}$ and the quantum number $n_{r}$ for a fixed angular quantum number $l$, moreover, the three bounds of $\alpha_{\rm d}$ ($\alpha_{\rm d}^{K}$, $\alpha_{\rm d}^{B}$, $\alpha_{\rm d}^{U}$) satisfy an inequality: $\alpha_{\rm d}^{K}\leq\alpha_{\rm d}^{B}\leq\alpha_{\rm d}^{U}$. A comparison between the ATMM, the exact numerical analysis, and the variational wavefunctions shows that our method works very well in the systems.     

The upper bound on the tensor-to-scalar ratio consistent with quantum gravity

We consider the polynomial inflation with the tensor-to-scalar ratio as large as possible which can be consistent with the quantum gravity(QG) corrections and effective field theory(EFT). To get a minimal field excursion Δ? for enough e-folding number N, the inflaton field traverses an extremely flat part of the scalar potential, which results in the Lyth bound to be violated. We get a CMB signal consistent with Planck data by numerically computing the equation of motion for inflaton ? and using Mukhanov–Sasaki formalism for primordial spectrum. Inflation ends at Hubble slow-roll parameter ■. Interestingly, we find an excellent practical bound on the inflaton excursion in the format ■, where a is a tiny real number and b is at the order 1. To be consistent with QG/EFT and suppress the high-dimensional operators, we show that the concrete condition on inflaton excursion is ■. For n_s= 0.9649,N_e= 55, and ■0.632 MPl, we predict that the tensor-to-scalar ratio is smaller than 0.0012 for such polynomial inflation to be consistent with QG/EFT.     

Electron tunnelling phase time and dwell time through an associated delta potential barrier

The electron tunnelling phase time τP and dwell time τD through an associated delta potential barrier U(x) = ξδ(x) are calculated and both are in the order of 10^-17～10^-16s. The results show that the dependence of the phase time on the delta barrier parameter ξ can be described by the characteristic length lc = h^2/meξ and the characteristic energy Ec=meξ^2/h^2 of the delta barrier, where me is the electron mass, lc and Ec are assumed to be the effective width and height of the delta barrier with lcEc=ξ, respectively. It is found that TD reaches its maximum and τD = τp as the energy of the tunnelling electron is equal to Ec/2, i.e. as lc =λDB, λDB is de Broglie wave length of the electron.     

A possible experimental observable for the determination of neutron skin thickness

The dependence between neutron skin thickness and neutron abrasion cross section （σnabr） for neutron-rich nuclei is investigated within the framework of the statistical abrasion ablation model. Assuming that the density distributions for proton and neutron are of Fermi-type, and adjusting the diffuseness parameter of neutron density distribution in the droplet model, we find out the good linear correlation between the neutron skin thickness and the abrasion cross section σnabr for neutron-rich nuclei. The uncertainty of neutron skin thickness determined from σnabr is very small. It is suggested that σnabr can be used as a new experimental observable to extract the neutron skin thickness for neutronrich nucleus. The scaling behaviours between neutron skin thickness and σnabr, separately, for isotopes of ^26-35Na, ^44-56Ar, ^48-60Ca, ^67-78Ni are also investigated.
